Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by placing 24 Oreo cookies into a food processor. Pulse until the cookies turn into fine crumbs, resembling sand, about 30 seconds. Set aside in a bowl.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of softened butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 8 ounces of softened cream cheese. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 packages of instant chocolate pudding mix and 3.5 cups of milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Fold in 12 ounces of Cool Whip until creamy.
  4. Carefully fold the cream cheese mixture into the chocolate pudding until smooth and evenly blended.
  5. Layer your dessert! Begin with a layer of pudding mixture, then crushed Oreo crumbs, and repeat layers, ending with Oreo crumbs on top.
  6. Sprinkle extra crushed Oreo crumbs over the top and add gummy worms for decoration.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
